So that means that I first saw the pilot episode on its Saturday repeat on 27 October 1990 - thanks for making me feel so bloody old! I can even remember the house I was sharing at the time (moved six times since then), and at least half a dozen of us watched it. One idiot laughed when Sarah screame...

The only connections I can see are coincidental. For instance, the only reason Duke Leto sports a Captain Nemo-like beard is because Jurgen Prochnow does - in the novel he's not described as having a beard, nor did William Hurt have one in the TV mini series. Also, the spice navigators are described...

Okay, so I'm writing some fan fiction, and need the teacher's name who called the register in the pilot - various sites give differing information: some say the teacher is Alice Brady and the safety deposit box bank teller is Margaret Honeycutt; but others say the teacher is Margaret Honeycutt and t...

Before Dune was published in 1965 it was serialized over several issues of 'Analog' magazine between 1963 and 1965 - part one, 'Dune World' over three issues; part two, 'Prophet of Dune' over five issues. Frank Herbert did some re-writing for the fix-up of the two parts to make the original novel in...

And in the next episode - 19 - the last three scenes take place during a thunder storm; Coop and Denise's interrogation of Ernie, the Major's return, and James overhearing raised voices over at the Marsh House.

Just watched 'Arbitrary Law' again and noticed, for the first time, that when Leland runs into wall for the first time - it moved Had to watch it over a couple more times. From now on I know it will take me out of that particular scene - oh well

Apologies Annie - I guess I won't be making too many comments about KJA in that case, as you'd likely have a full-time job on your hands editing them! It looks like I won't be getting the paperback copy of this, unfortunately, as it's only available through KJA's Wordfire Press - at $15, no less. If...

I was under the impression that Bob's information is a year out of date, and that the rights have now lapsed. To all intents and purposes, any potential film is dead in the water. Byron can bang on about production companies banging on their door all he wants, he's been saying that for over five yea...

He did watch an entirely different show, Fire, didn't you know? He watched a show in which Annie Blackburn and John Justice Wheeler were fully-rounded characters who enhanced the show with their touching romances with our two leads, Cooper and Audrey. On the other hand, you and me (and 99% of humani...
